at current rate China is adding a Netherlands sized economy every year, and an indian sized economy every 3.5 years. so yeah, better worry about your brexit than a slower RATE of growth in China. China's slow down is intentional, and will be beneficial in the long run, as the current Xi administration is curbing the overcapacity in economy, which is a leftover problem from the previous Hu administration's over investment due to the 2009 world financial crisis. China lost their competitive advantage in making Nike sneakers to vietnam and Bangladesh years ago, so why is this channel trying to portray that's a bad thing? This means China is moving up the economic ladder, and is producing higher value goods and services.

Yes i agree with you with the need to hire a financial advisor to help you diversify your portfolio by including Mutual Funds, Etf's, the 11 GICS groups, inflation-indexed bonds, and stocks of companies with reliable cash flows rather than growth stocks, where prices were based on future prospective earnings.

[@jstasiak2262]

One very important thing that you did not address is Xi Jinping’s favoring of Chinese state owned enterprises (SOE) over Chinese private enterprises (PE). PEs are more efficient and create more wealth and more jobs than SOEs, yet investment is now being preferentially directed to SOEs and away from PEs. This represents a definite break with previous policy began with Deng Xioping and continued through Hu Jintao which favored PE over SOE. The SOEs are not creating the wealth that PEs created and the economy is slowing as a result. Even access to the shadow banking credit markets is being restricted to PEs which are not growing as a consequence. This is an important story that needs to be covered if we are to understand China.

@@wong3150 the trade war Trumps waging is a great thing, we should take note. China are anti west obviously, they break wto rules all the time, steal our tech and sell it as their own and crush foreign business in their own nation.

[@nagi-springfield93]

Geth Creator the fact is china not breaking any wto rules but the usa did, maybe u should research more before spreading your ignorant mind to others. By research i means not from ur so call western news

Meanwhile UK economy is growing backwards

[@Withnail1969]

The so called trade war with the USA is irrelevant, China's exports to the US are sill huge and recently set a new record.

[@Bobsob]

Even if it's 4%, that's bad?

[@quimiorlando]

Very nicely done.

[@clairecognizant6615]

Surprised? With the amount of greed in the world it is only going to get worse.

[@joojdok2569]

USA should worry about India,not China.

[@sofianino545]

One thing that I do not understand is that in this video is says that China is in debt. It is my understanding that China is also a huge lender, lending to many developing countries in Africa and Asia. So I don’t understand how could China be in trouble for borrowing, if it is lending and lending and has so many countries in the world (like Sri Lanka amongst some other countries) indebted to it? Could someone explain?

Music's too loud

[@kosrules1884]

also the BBC isn't telling you is that China flight to skirt numbers officials are encouraged to give different numbers then what it actually is so you could say it's growing at 8% when its really like 4% because the Chinese officials are saying it's that but it's really not.

China makes me a little nervous. They’re gaining too much economic control in Asia and parts of Africa.

[@user-st4sk2cz9x]

Thoese so-called "replace the china as manufatoring hub and make the china nervous or collapse " coutries: 1.mexico , trade defict with china,$67bn, 2. vietname, $16.3bn;3. india $51.72bn; If you want to predict the collapse, pick some countries without deficit....
